Ingo Molnar 1e6428124f x86/vm86: Fix the misleading CONFIG_VM86 Kconfig help text
The CONFIG_VM86 Kconfig help text is actively misleading, so fix it:

  - Don't mark it 'obsolete' in the text as we'll support the ABI as long as CPUs
    support it.

  - Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
    want a real vm86 mode.

  - Don't scare users away from the option, instead explain what it does.
